Previous tenants’ testimonial

 "E and M were amazing landlords. We lived in Webb Estate for around 18months, and they were by far the most responsive, efficient and kind landlords we have known. The flat was in excellent condition when we moved in, having been well renovated ... They were responsive by phone and email whenever we had questions or needed any work doing. Any issues we had were fixed promptly, and it was easy to communicate with them. They only rent this one property, and it really shows in their care and attentiveness. They wanted us to look after the property, but also to enjoy it and make it our home. With all this in mind, it was really sad to leave the flat and to return to the world of inefficient letting agents and corporate landlords. Landlords like E and M are rare and we remain grateful for the ways in which they facilitated us having a safe, warm and functioning home during a difficult pandemic year. We would recommend the flat and E and M to anyone."

Occupancy Note - HMO (House In Multiple Occupation)restrictions apply

'Maximum number of tenants' is further limited by Hackney's HMO Licensing rules.  This flat is not licensed for HMO situations. The rules say a property is an HMO if at least 3 tenants live there, forming more than one household and sharing facilities.  For example, a family of 4 people would be OK for this flat (as 1 household) but two couples would not be OK (as 2 households). Another example, two friends would be fine (as only 2 tenants) but a couple sharing with a friend would not (as 2 households). For more details see Hackney Gov website.
